Question
Hi,
My Sassy has a very crusty nose.... how can I help her get it soft again....?  Soak it and use maybe Vaseline?

Answer
No, not Vaseline. It has petroleum in it and she will lick her nose.

Use olive oil-- if you don't have olive oil-- go buy a bottle and in the meantime, use cooking oil.

When she licks, which she will, it won't harm her. Keep it on her nose as often as possible. It is normal- especially in summer months.
